After the disturbance with the Universe Magic Pool, common Wizards lost their divination power.
But Legend Wizards could use the ambient magic power to form a spell matrix, and she was a Seer. Thus, her Divination wasn’t affected.
As long as she had enough magic power, she could keep casting Divination.
But just like the Sha’s guns, she needed to cool down. Each time she cast a spell, her spell matrix also needed some time before being used again.
Otherwise, not only would the spell fail, but it might also lead to the spell matrix collapsing!
When she restrained the Shadow Prince before, she used 10 casts of [Space-Time Bind].
This was too much for her spell matrix. In ordinary circumstances, her spell matrix would crumble after three Space-Time Binds.
Fortunately they had Space-Time Diamonds.
Those ten priceless consumable Space-Time Diamonds had an outstanding effect, able to take the load off her spell matrix for that spell, allowing her to keep casting.
But it wasn’t the same for Divination.
She didn’t have a corresponding material and could only cast it every so often.
On the overgrown plain, she stood still, waiting.
‘Time’s up.’
Her eyes shone.
She immediately cast Divination.
[Arborea, Marvin, Major Event]
These were the keywords of the Divination. If Marvin saw the process, he would immediately think of his world’s “Internet search engines”. The spell would display all the major events that happened in Arborea, particularly those related to Marvin, in front of her.
This “search engine” could be blocked and willfully tampered with.
In short, Divination wasn’t omniscient.
But she still wanted to take a look.
However, what appeared in front of her wasn’t Marvin.
It was a desolate land.
The scene focused on a temple in that land, and stopped on a mysterious man.
The other side apparently noticed her and lifted his head.
Hathaway suddenly felt an explosion in her mind!
She instantly cancelled the Divination!
Despite doing so, she kept shivering, her entire body cold!
This was the result of someone interfering with her Divination.
‘No good!’ She fought the pain. Despite the constant sharp pain in her head, she still remained clear-headed.
She had recognized that face.
Glynos!
That guy had personally descended to Arborea at level 18!
‘Hold on…’
‘I obviously divined Marvin, but I saw Glynos…’
‘He is going to assassinate him!’
‘This is bad, Marvin doesn’t know!’
Hathaway was at a loss for a moment.
Who knew when that scene had actually happened? Glynos’ assassination attempt might have already begun.
The Shadow Prince was regarded poorly by the gods, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t troublesome.
He wasn’t strong in direct battle.
But it shouldn’t be forgotten that he was one of the risen Legend Powerhouses of the 3rd Era!
Countless Gods and Legends fell to his Nightfall!
Even if Marvin was also level 18, if he wasn’t on guard, he would most likely fall into his trap.
After all, who could have thought that the Shadow Prince would be willing to take this kind of risk and enter a Secondary Plane.
If his avatar was destroyed, his Divine Source would be seriously weakened.
The reason the Shadow Prince kept sending avatars before was due to the other gods supporting him.
Every time he died after descending, as long as he still had the Time Molt, the other gods would help make up for his Divine Source, and thus he was unbridled.
But after he lost the Time Molt, he had no way to obtain the other gods’ support anymore.
In the war against the Decaying Plateau for example, his loss was disastrous. His avatar was crushed by the Great Elven King.
This greatly affected his Divine Source.
Thus, Marvin and Hathaway felt that the always cautious Glynos wouldn’t risk entering Arborea.
If he lost a Secondary Plane, he could just make up for it in another Secondary Plane. From what Marvin knew, Glynos had at least four Secondary Planes.
And his Divine Source was something a lot more important. Losing some could mean it was lost forever. A couple hundred years might not be enough to make up for it.
A couple hundred years was enough to develop a few Secondary Planes.
…
But the Shadow Prince’s decision went against Marvin and Hathaway’s predictions.
This guy was clearly blinded by rage, no longer making his decision based on reason.
He needed to vent, he needed revenge! He only thought of killing Marvin, and the rest didn’t matter!
Hathaway wanted to go there herself, but she was a Legend, so she couldn’t enter Arborea.
Figures appeared in her mind, one after the other, but she didn’t think of anyone she could ask for help from!
‘Hold on…’
‘He might have a way!’
Hathaway’s eyes shone as she quickly began to move.
…
Arborea.
Inside the palace courtyard. Nana mentioning that it was getting dark was only subconscious muttering, but it felt different for Marvin.
He felt a lot more comfortable in the darkness.
Night Walker’s skills could be used as he liked.
He looked up. It was dusk, the time when the night was taking over the day.
His Night Walker abilities still couldn’t be used, all grayed out.
‘Looks like I unconsciously became fond of the night.’
Marvin sighed inwardly. The powerful Darksight ability made him feel at home in the night. In fact, he was no longer as comfortable during the day.
But at that time, the Hellhound in his arms suddenly stood up and howled!
A strong feeling of alarm was transmitted from the pet contract.
In an instant, Marvin’s hair seemed to stand on end as he felt an extreme chill down his spine!
It came from the Judgement Sword in the Hellhound’s stomach!
Marvin reacted keenly and pulled Nana as he dashed forward!
But his movement was a bit slow for the hiding Glynos.
The Shadow Prince sneered.
Since he made a move, the other side certainly wouldn’t survive.
A cold light flickered from [Nightfall] as a shadow floated over and stabbed toward Marvin’s back.
“Shla!”
Marvin stiffened.
He heard the sound of the dagger piercing his own heart!
Chapter 315: Twelve Curses
Chapter 315: Twelve Curses

“Pop!”
In an instant, Marvin’s sight went red.
Countless logs popped up in the upper right side of his field of view.
A wave of pain flashed through Marvin’s head and he almost fainted!
Fortunately his willpower was firm. He clenched his teeth and held on.
“Glynos!” he roared, as he abruptly turned around, Blazing Fury slashing over fiercely!
The Shadow Prince displayed a meaningful smile while facing Marvin’s vengeful curved dagger. He obviously wouldn’t fight with him directly.
What a joke, he was an Assassin, the other was a Ranger. Even at this point, he still wasn’t willing to give Marvin the advantage of a battle in the open.
“Woosh!”
The Shadow Prince’s figure vanished from the courtyard!
Nana’s face was pale, and Orland on the side rushed over!
That sneak attack didn’t last long, but it injured Marvin greatly!
…
‘Thankfully… I’m already 4th ran
k!’
He had obtained Fatal Injuries Immunity when he reached 4th rank Night Walker!
Even though the dagger pierced his heart, grievously injuring him, it at least didn’t insta-kill him.
Marvin was extremely pale, and cold sweat covered his forehead.
The sharp pain wasn’t the biggest problem.
The most frightening thing was that he had been wounded by Nightfall!
Someone hit by Nightfall would instantly receive twelve frightening curses!
Marvin’s condition was very bad. Moreover, Glynos definitely didn’t actually leave. Even though he struck Marvin successfully, he wouldn’t hide far off. Marvin was in huge trouble!
“Sir Marvin!” Nana cried out. “Your hand!”
Signs of petrification could be seen on Marvin’s left hand.
Marvin frowned.
First curse, Petrification.
This was tolerable.
After Constantine had the Red Dragon dismembered, he had looked for a few Master Alchemists to refine some magic potions, and among them was an anti-petrification potion!
Dragons had high resistance to petrification.
At this crucial moment, Marvin didn’t hesitate to take out the anti-petrification potion and drink it!
He drank the whole potion in one breath!
It was a matter of life and death after all, so Marvin wouldn’t bother about whether he wasted too much or not.
Moreover, he had half a dozen of those potions!
After the potion entered his body, a power swept through his bones and limbs.
His left hand miraculously began to recover.
But Marvin’s expression was still grim.
This was just delaying the problem. Nightfall didn’t only have a petrification curse.
Based on his experience fighting the Shadow Prince, after one was injured by Nightfall, the interval between the first curse and the second one would be an hour.
Because you couldn’t expect what curse would break out next, for ordinary people, being hit by Nightfall meant death!
[Nightfall] was the dream Artifact of wretched Assassins. It was Glynos’ deepest pleasure to stab his targets and then leave, before watching his enemies die to the outburst of curses.
But he didn’t intend to leave today.
The Hellhound kept barking.
He apparently could sense that the Shadow Prince had yet to leave.
Marvin looked gloomily at every corner of the courtyard.
The sky was gradually darkening and the Great Wizard Orland had already cast his own Barrier, covering Nana and Marvin inside.
Orland’s golden Barrier looked unbreakable. But Marvin knew that if the Shadow Prince wanted to cross the Barrier to attack him once again it would really be too easy.
He had to stay on guard.
This would likely turn into an endless battle of attrition, but this wasn’t what Marvin wanted.
Because the more the time dragged on, the faster the curses could break out. After each curse took effect, the interval could slowly reduce!
And it would keep shortening. In theory, if you could survive them till the end, there would be a total of twelve curses attached to your body!
In that situation, it would be too late for even Great Druids to save you.
Perhaps only an Apostle of the Nature God or the Dawn Lord could remove the twelve curses at once and save an ordinary person’s life.
But these two Ancient Gods are already slumbering. Let alone their Apostles, finding a follower was very challenging.
‘Glynos wants me dead…’
Marvin felt the bleeding wound behind his back and turned cold, his muscles stiff.
His eyes kept darting around.
He had already used Listen and even the wind blowing on the grass was sensed by him.
‘Careless… I didn’t expect Glynos to personally act because of his face.’
‘Since that’s the case, he should leave his Divine Source behind.’
A ruthless and tyrannical expression flashed through his eyes.
His Perception wasn’t as high as the Shadow Prince’s, and even if the latter was reduced to level 18, his Stealth was still extremely powerful.
But similarly, the Shadow Prince probably wouldn’t be able to notice Marvin in Stealth!
‘Maybe I can exploit this…’ Marvin thought secretly.
Marvin then nodded toward Orland.
His body disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Shadow Escape!
The Hellhound barked twice worriedly, but he still followed Marvin’s command and stayed inside the Barrier.
It was completely dark outside the Barrier.
…
The Darkness was the Night Walkers’ stage!
Marvin hid in a corner and hurriedly wrapped his wound and entered Stealth.
But his Stealth was actually a bait.
With his Perception, the Shadow Prince shouldn’t be able to find Marvin if he was wearing Eriksson’s Brooch.
But don’t forget that Marvin had already defeated the Shadow Prince before!
‘I can only lure the snake out of its hole…’
Marvin forced a smile.
He had to quickly make a move.
Because letting time drag on was disadvantageous to Marvin.
The first curse was petrification and Marvin had a potion to resist it.
But what about the second curse?
The name of each of Nightfall’s twelve curses appeared in Marvin’s mind. Each one was deadly to an ordinary person.
If not for Marvin’s devil bloodline along with his Divinity, he might have already died.
He remembered six of the curses: Petrification, Black Death, Crystallization, Bleeding, Poison, and Mutation.
Marvin didn’t know about the other six because the most he had lasted was about four hours before dying.
He hadn’t had the chance to learn about the remaining six curses.
But those first six curses were enough to give a headache.
‘I hope the next one is Bleeding or Poison…’
Marvin was thinking nervously while in Stealth.
If it was one of these two curses, he had solutions. Bleeding meant that the wound would never heal and would bleed out thrice as fast.
For this, he had plenty of hemostatic potions and bandages, along with healing ointment. He could keep up with the curse’s outburst. As for Poison, Marvin’s poison resistance was extremely high and he had many different antidotes, so he should also be able to handle it.
If it was Mutation, Black Death, or Crystallization, Marvin would be in trouble.
[Mutation] would transform parts of his body into something weird… he might even mutate completely.
He could transform into a toad or something…
[Crystallization] was even more frightening. His body would slowly turn to crystal before ultimately shattering into pieces.
[Black Death] was a type of death curse. It was named that way because black strings like spider webs would spread out from the heart.
Any of those three would be very troublesome for Marvin!
‘I might only have a chance if I return to Feinan!’
At this critical time, Marvin forced himself to stay calm.
He had already called back the Dark Knights. The nine of them gathered in the courtyard and urged the Great Wizard Orland to speed up the construction of the Space-Time Lighthouse for this plane.
It wasn’t looking too good. But as long as he sent clear coordinates, then with Hathaway’s intelligence, she should be able to notice that something had gone awry.
At that time, there would be many solutions.
Thinking of this, Marvin made a decision.
Before the second curse broke out, he had close to an hour to find the Shadow Prince and kill him!
Even if he was injured, Marvin was confident that as long as he caught Glynos, the latter couldn’t be his opponent in the night.
The Royal City felt strange yet peaceful in the night.
An emergency curfew from the palace had alarmed the people.
The entire street was cleared out.
Glynos was hiding in a dark place as a cunning expression flashed through his eyes.
He could feel that faint aura still lingering in the surroundings.
‘It seems he had Fatal Injuries Immunity and was also able to handle the first curse.’
‘And he is a Ranger with such a strong Stealth that even my Perception is unable to find him. He definitely should have some good stuff on him.’
‘A pity… ah… A pity… It’s too bad I can sense your general direction since you’re at the limits of power for this plane. And perhaps you are unaware that the people injured by Nightfall will not only be cursed, but will also have a hint of Nightfall’s aura.’
‘Even if my Perception can’t find you, I can still lock onto Nightfall’s aura!’
After thinking of this, a sinister expression flashed through Glynos’ eyes.
‘Such a powerful Ranger, with the Night Walker advancement class… wouldn’t he be outstanding if he reached the Legend Realm?’
‘I must kill him before he grows!’
He moved lightly and slowly approached that aura.
…
In the darkness, Marvin haltingly moved around, his eyes full of confidence.
He knew that his Stealth didn’t completely hide him from the Shadow Prince, but he used it in order to make him take the bait.
He was prepared this time.
‘Glynos, since you dared to make a move, I won’t let you leave this plane unharmed!’
Marvin was determined!
In Royal City, two shadows, one in front and one behind, had their own thoughts.
Meanwhile, in a corner of Arborea, six figures appeared in the sky, one after the other.
“I hope there is still time,” the six shadows whispered in unison.

In the Royal City.
The seconds were slowly ticking by as Marvin continued putting on an act for Glynos.
He remained in Stealth, pretending to be looking for traces of Glynos, but the Shadow Prince was a lot more patient than he had thought.
